I've noticed that many of the albums comin' out today are Dualdiscs.
I was a little curious about this, and it really looks like its the next big thing in the music business.
So do you think its here to stay?

dvd will be replaced with one of the high definiton dvd replacements like blu-ray or hd-dvd. so dual disk has a short future. i think sacd hybrid tends to be more popular just now than dual disc.
What's a dual disc?
LOL, ahahahah!Quote:

i thought you meant those "fruit" toys called dual disks from that "...fruitfull" show named Yu-Gi-Oh.
it's a two sided disc, cd on one side, dvd on the other. I think they are annoying because you don't have a "safe" side as both sides contain data.
I agree. You have to be very careful when you lift the CD. :mad:
which why hybrid sacd's are more practical.
Sacd CDs doesn't play on computers... I bought Björk's "Medulla" sacd edition and it didn't even start on my computer.
hybrids do.

The future of the music industry is going to be shared among traditional forms of production, the CD SACD, and purely digital forms of distribution, some legal, others illegal.
but CDs degrade and lose data after 10 years or so. Which is pretty crappy. I know I started collecting CDs in 1994, so probably some of my oldest ones are about to die.
It's spelled Duel disc.Quote:

I found out what happens when you stick magnets on tapes when I was eight. Then my mom yelled at me. Happened with the TV too. But now there's a giant read spot in the top right corner.Quote:
